We decided to drive the drive to the summit, instead of take the cog railway. I was very nervous--no guard rails, for the most part! But the scenery on the drive up is totally unreal! We drove with the sunroof open and the windows open for the majority of the trip up. Just be warned of EXTREME dust in the car!! At the summit, we enjoyed the ...

My family and I just got back from Co. and we took the cog to pikes peak. Truly amazing view the ride was great the conductor had us laughing the whole hour and a half ride up. We would do it again in a second. The view from up there was breathtaking. Recomend to anyone.

We took the Cog Railway to the top of Pike's Peak. The ride was so beautiful! An hour of the best scenery! At the top the view was great and we even had snow in June! Just what my son wanted at the top! Besides hot chocolate and a doughnut! This was a great value at $81.00 for 2 adults and 2 children!
If you don't want to drive the hairpin curves yourself, this is the way to go!!

shows an overview the picture was of pikes peak a good picture to show in the situation i liked pikes peak a very lot and i would die to to go agian ok mabey not die.

We drove up to Pikes Peak yesterday. Even in May, we weren't able to get to the top due to snow and ice. Were able to make it to the 16th mile, but the last three miles to the top were closed off.

Still well worth the price of getting in. The drive is definitely not as nervewracking as expected based on all of the reviews here. The majority ...

I think hiking is the best way, but the Cog is the easiest (and most expensive). Please note that you do not get to stay more than about 45 minutes on the top because the air is so thin that most people get light-headed after this amount of time. While the mountain views are the best on the three seat side, the big-horn sheep usually are on the two ...

When I went to Pikes Peak only 13 of the 19 miles were open. However, it was an amazing adventure and I will definately go back. I recommend stopping for all the views and take your time. If you drive, be aware that this is not for novice drivers. My 2004 Cavalier took Pikes Peak pretty well, so don't hesitate with a smaller car.

I recently went on a hiking trip up Pike's Peak with my unit. It took about 7 hours to complete the 13+ mile trip up Barr trail. The views were breath taking! Along with the solitude and peacefulness of nature it was definitely worth the cost, 0 dollars.

The trip on Pikes Peak was great! If you love seeing beautiful mountains and trees and great scenery - you will love it. Bring your camera for some awesome pictures from the top. We rode the cog railway. We were on the left side of the train (with 3 seats), and the views were much better there. I wish we could have stayed at the top a little longer. Don't waste your money on the donuts - they are bad.
